YG Issues Statement: “BigBang Opens Official SNS Ahead of Comeback… Members’ Determination Was Key” [Official]
/Photo=YG EntertainmentThe boy group BIGBANG has stepped up efforts to strengthen communication with fans.
According to YG Entertainment (hereafter YG) on the 22nd, BIGBANG simultaneously opened its official community and SNS channels on the global fandom platform b.stage at 8:19 p.m. on the 21st, matching the time that symbolizes their debut date (August 19).
YG explained, "As they are scheduled to embark on a world tour starting in August, the members had a strong desire to communicate with fans and create an even more meaningful 20th anniversary. Through this channel, they will move closer to fans under the name BIGBANG."
/Photo=YG EntertainmentThe first content for communication is a motion video of the team's new logo. By stylishly interpreting the phrases 'BIGBANG' and '20TH ANNIVERSARY,' it heightened anticipation for their upcoming activities to commemorate their 20th debut anniversary. The backs of the three members photographed at the Coachella site also draw attention.
BIGBANG kicked off their 20th-anniversary activities by announcing their return at the '2026 Coachella Valley Music and Arts Festival' in the United States on the 12th and 19th (local time). Over about 67 minutes, they performed the team's hit songs and each member's solo stages, drawing an enthusiastic response from the local audience. Billboard commented that they "perfectly brought the audience back to the golden age of K-pop," and Forbes praised BIGBANG as the "emperor of K-pop," welcoming their return.
In particular, BIGBANG officially announced at the concert on the 19th that they will begin a world tour starting in August. As this will be a performance under the name BIGBANG for the first time in nine years since 'LAST DANCE' in 2017, YG Entertainment began preparations early and stated, "All YG staff will do their best to create a perfect performance."
